The Department of Research and Development, New Horizon College of Engineering, successfully organised the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Mobile Computing and Sustainable Informatics (ICEMCSI 2026) on 17–18 June 2026 as part of its Silver Jubilee celebrations under the “Silver Summit” initiative. The conference was technically sponsored by IEEE and co-sponsored by the IEEE Bangalore Section, IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) Bangalore Chapter, and IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Bangalore Chapter (IEEE Conference Application No. 67638).

ICEMCSI 2026 provided an international platform for academicians, researchers, industry professionals, and students to share research and discuss emerging trends in Mobile Computing and Sustainable Informatics. It attracted over 648 participants from nearly 70 institutions across India, along with authors of four international research papers, fostering strong academic exchange and collaboration.
The conference commenced on 17 June 2026 with an inaugural ceremony at the NHCE Auditorium, beginning with the National Song and a welcome address by Dr. Revathi V, Organising Secretary and Dean (R&D). The event was graced by Mr. Avinash M (ISRO) as Chief Guest, Dr. Chengappa Munjandira (IEEE Bangalore Section) as Guest of Honour, and Dr. Vijanth Sagayan Asirvadam (Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia) as keynote speaker. Institutional leaders, including the Principal and Dean of Academics, also addressed the gathering. The proceedings were released by the dignitaries, followed by the presentation of mementoes and a vote of thanks.

The conference featured three keynote lectures by eminent experts. Dr. Vijanth Sagayan Asirvadam spoke on optimisation and AI-driven mobile computing for drone navigation and surveillance. Mr. Avinash M (ISRO) discussed systems engineering for sustainable satellite-based informatics and digital transformation. On 18 June, Dr. Hitesh Datt Mathur (BITS Pilani) presented on the integration of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and smart grids for sustainable energy systems, highlighting intelligent energy management and renewable integration.

The technical programme included 10 parallel sessions over two days under the themes of Mobile Computing and Sustainable Informatics. Sessions were chaired by experts from academia and industry, with all presentations conducted in offline mode to encourage active interaction. A total of 108 research papers were presented, covering areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, machine learning, communication systems, and data analytics. Constructive feedback and participant responses enhanced the quality of discussions.

All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, subject to IEEE quality review, ensuring global visibility of the research contributions. Overall, ICEMCSI 2026 successfully promoted interdisciplinary research, industry–academia collaboration, and innovative solutions in emerging technologies. The event strengthened. knowledge sharing and networking while marking a significant milestone in the institution’s Silver Jubilee celebrations and laying the foundation for future international collaborations.
